Food Diaries & Weight Loss
When you keep a food diary it will help you to become more aware of what you are actually eating and it will help you identify unhealthy habits. For example, overeating is often due to habitual, unconscious response to certain triggers. These may be physical (skipped meals, the sight or smell of food) or emotional (stress or boredom). Write the entries in the diary throughout the day as you are eating. This makes sure that nothing is missed. You must also be honest and put down everything (including that 1 chocolate biscuit) as everything does count. Try also to put down the quantities as this can also make a huge difference. Also record where you are (at your desk at work, in the car) and whether you are alone or with someone else. You should also note how you were feeling and the reason for eating (e.g. boredom or other people were eating). Keep your diary for a week without changing you normal eating pattern and this then becomes your baseline for you to plan how to improve your eating habits. At the end of the week read through the diary, you’ll probably be surprised at what you did actually eat. Also have a good look at the times you ‘slipped’ a little and see if there’s any ‘trigger’ that may have caused it. Keep the diary for a further month and read the diary at the end of each week – seeing your eating habits changing is very motivating.
